Best In Class

Best In Class is our vision of a valuable use of a high school recruits time and energy. It’s a 2 day training and recruiting event aimed to maximize both of those objectives. It’s an event that ties in a recruiting and evaluative component into the core player development sessions that FCL was built on.

Athlete Program

An all-access program, we are here to help guide your son, daughter and parents along the way alongside the training. Players who have committed to more consistency with programming have benefitted not just on the field, but also in our player-coach relationships.

"The FCL athlete program and Deemer have been a fantastic resource for our daughter.  Outside of analyzing her game film and drills with her, he supplements her learning with film from other games/players to illustrate his points which enhances our daughters overall LAX IQ.  More important then the film review, Deemer’s advice and support were invaluable to our daughter in the summer leading up to the beginning of recruiting.  He advised her on which events to attend in an effort for her to stay fresh and gain valuable exposure to coaches/programs the she was interested in and were suitable for her.  His continued support after the summer into recruiting /commitment has continued which shows his dedication to the athlete and the person.  He cares about his athletes.  We are convinced that our daughter would not have the opportunities she has without the guidance and support of Deemer and the FCL athlete program which continues today.  Every parent’s goal is to put their child in a position to be successful in achieving their goals.  Engaging with Deemer and the FCL athlete program was the best decision we could have made for our daughter."

Fall Training

We structure these training segments similarly to a college team's "positional work" in the off-season. We drill techniques, skills, and concepts specific to defensive players in men's lacrosse. These include stickwork, stance, footwork, sliding, communication, pick play, decision making and other concepts essential for defenders.

"The fall/winter training sessions helped me so much as a player to develop my lacrosse IQ, skills, and also be a more versatile player. While keeping the numbers small, it allowed Coach to help each individual player on their personal development while also getting lots of reps! Throughout the course of these clinics, I saw lots of improvement in my confidence, skills, and speed of play, which helped me when going into my high school season! "
